GiGi and Pappy, supportive parents, always encouraged Fat Mama's natural wanderlust. They introduced her to many experiences that have become her travel obsessions (like amusement parks, road trips, and national parks). Now, Fat Mama gets to support them and their dream to see the world.

Jackalope may now live far away from Fat Mama with his wife, Aunty Coco, and son E-Man, but that just means more chances for fun family travel! With E-Man and Itsy Bitsy born only a month apart, these two cousins LOVE to travel, play, and explore the world together; with their parents tagging along of course.

E-Girl, J-Cat, and Codster are the better half of family Rakhardt (that's our combined familt name). Itsy Bitsy and Codster were born 8 days apart, met when they were a month old, and have never lived more than 10 houses apart. Therefore, Fat Mama HAD to adopt them and make them part of her chosen family.

That's DOCTOR Fabby and Funcle to you! These two have done it all; even with two kids in tow! Recently retired after 30 years as a pediatrician, most recently a clinical prof. at the Univ. of Wisconsin School of Medicine. Dr. Fabby is now enjoying a quieter life as a "Fabulous Aunt" because "great aunt" just sounded too old. 

Uncle Andy may not be a blood relation, but that makes him no less of a brother to Fat Mama and Jackalope, and no less an uncle to Itsy Bitsy and E-man. This brother by choice has been part of the family since we were all teens and no family adventure is complete without Uncle Andy! Plus, he makes great cocktails.
